Box Bikes

Here in the Netherlands we call it a 'bakfiets', best translated as box bike. It's a bicycle with a large box on the front. In the past these bikes were used by Dutch bakers, milk men and grocers to deliver their goods.


Nowadays the mothers of Amsterdam use the box bike to transport their children, since there is not much space in the center of the city for cars. The majority of the pictures are made in the old center of Amsterdam and Amsterdam-South, two areas where the rich people of the city live.
